Thanks for bringing a fresh lens through which to view this comedic classic from my youth. Ironic how many layers of meaning one misses when viewing the world through innocent and immature eyes.
That was good. I want to call your attention to a work you may or may not be familia with, Ursula Leguin’s Lathe of Heaven. There are also two movie versions. I’ve only seen the first which was done for PBS ( It’s good). Think law of intended consequences. Leguin was a left anarchist and the left part can be a bit much as it is in her novel The Dispossessed but Lathe winds up being pretty libertarian, in a broad sense.

I love the Lathe of Heaven. PBS version was decent, haven’t seen the newer one (didn’t know there was another).

Thanks! Looks like they changed the plot from what I remember. Have you seen this version?
No only the earlier one which I liked.
Love the movie, never looked at it this way before - terrific
There is actually a website/substack etc. by a pseudonymous libertarian that covers this field @libertarianfilm on X. Wonder if he or she agrees?
His/her substack is whatyoucandoforliberty@substack.com
